07 | Guilt-free Pleasures and Chasing Your Dreams with Romance Novelist Alyssa Jarrett

Explícito

Let’s talk about sex, baby! Or, talk about how reading and writing about sex is a guilt-free, shame-free political act. That’s right, in this conversation with the fabulous debut romance novelist Alyssa Jarrett we go on a wild ride about feminism, authenticity, identity, privilege, pursuing our creativity in the face of nay-sayers, and… werewolf erotica. (She doesn’t write werewolf erotica, but we both celebrate those who do!)

Fuck “guilty pleasures.” This episode is a battle cry for liking what we like, not yucking anyone’s yum, and going all in on our dreams. It’s an absolute treat, and you’ll leave with some great resources for finding exactly the level of spiciness you want in your fiction as well as (I hope) encouragement for centering the things that bring you joy.
